BULLYING PREVENTION
October 2013 • #61
A Note from the Medical Editor
We can all probably name the “school bully” (or bullies) from our childhood. Bullying is not a new challenge for children, but it should not be dismissed as simply a part of growing up. Today we have an additional form of bullying: cyberbullying, which takes bullying to a whole new level.

This newsletter, learn about the many ways you can help your child prevent, cope with, and overcome bullying’s lasting impact.
